Since we now know that this movie and ''Film/{{Split}}'' are set in the same universe, and there's a sequel coming out in 2019 (titled ''Glass''), then as a superhero David is bound to get more and more foes to fight. For instance, "The Horde," the villain from ''Split'', will prove to be TheDragon to [[spoiler:Mr. Glass]], and other villainous characters will likewise join forces with them. Alternatively, the wider Unbreakable-verse consists of every film Shyamalan has made to date, and characters from those films will show up and form a proper RoguesGallery for David--as just a few examples, [[Film/TheHappening a plant-creature]], [[Film/TheVisit an identity-impersonator]], [[Film/LadyInTheWater a mystical creature]], and "[[Film/TheVillage Those We Don't Speak Of]]"

[[WMG: ''Unbreakable'' and ''Film/{{Split}}'' share the same universe as ''WesternAnimation/{{The Incredibles}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Transformers Prime}}''.
If we were to take ''Glass'', ''Incredibles 2'' and ''Robots in Disguise'' out of it, the four of them could very well be in the same world as each other just at different times with ''Unbreakable'' being in 2000, ''Split'' being in 2016, ''The Incredibles'' being in 2004 and ''Transformers Prime'' being in 2010.

There are slight mentions of the Harry and Marv robberies and we can also see David Dunn as a Website/{{Facebook}} user in ''Film/{{Searching}}''. This suggests these films share an universe. Superhumans exist in ''Unbreakable'' and also shares an universe with ''Home Alone'', there is a chance the reason why Harry and Marv did not get killed by Kevin [=McCallister=]'s traps already is because they are also superhumans.

Now, it seems rather implausible, considering ''Unbreakable'' and ''Split'' (as well as the upcoming ''Glass'') all take place in a comic book style universe. However, even iconic universes created by DC and Marvel even have supernatural heroes (being supernaturally powered, have magic abilities or are in tune with the supernatural around them). Ghost Rider (Marvel), Doctor Stephen Strange (Marvel), John Constantine (DC) and Zatanna (DC) are proof of this. It could be possible that Cole Sear is actually a super himself, and his super ability is to see ghosts, who help him find clues to the crimes they were victims of (this would explain his big "hero" moment where Cole goes to Kyra Collins' funeral, following her ghost and finding the tape that exposes Kyra was purposefully being poisoned by the mother, exposing the crime that killed her). Essentially, he is a super with supernatural abilities as well, but unlike David, his abilities is that of seeing ghosts.

One of the things that was talked about alot in the film, was David's reputation as a former football player. To be a great football player, you'd need strength, speed and endurance. Since David was considered a star player and has been proven to have strength and invulnerability. Maybe he's a fast runner too thanks to his strength.
